About the Product Capacity Representation
Standard
A
b
out HDD Capacity Representatio
n
The capacity o
f
the storage device (HDD, SSD) o
f
the manu
f
acturer
is ca
l
cu
l
ate
d
assuming t
h
at 1KB=1,000 Bytes
.
However, t
h
e operating system (Win
d
ows) ca
l
cu
l
ates t
h
e storage
device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and there
f
ore the
capacity representation o
f
the HDD in Windows is smaller than the
actual capacity due to the di
erence in capacity calculation.
(E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Win
d
ows represents t
h
e capacity as 74.5GB,
80x1,000x1,000x1,000
b
yte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)
b
yte = 74.505GB
)
In a
dd
ition, t
h
e capacity representation in Win
d
ows may
b
e even
sma
ll
er
b
ecause some programs suc
h

This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion o

.
(E.g. For 1GB(=1,024MB) memory insta
